Betsy Aoki Fan Club

Scoble asks: What do you like/hate about Microsoft blogs?

Well, frankly, it is a bit of information overload. It's a full-time job just to keep up with blogs.msdn.com, and I have to wade through a lot of BizTalk/C++/Exchange/Windows Mobile stuff that's really not relevant to me. And what's the deal with this guy? ;-)

Occasionally, however, sifting through all that chatter pays off: I discover an unsung blogger who speaks to my soul, one whom I may never have found otherwise. Betsy Aoki is such a blogger; I find her (too infrequent) posts a perfect combination of smart, funny and quirky that never fails to bring a smile to my face. (Don't worry, Betsy: I'm happily married and I live 200 miles away, so you're not likely to find me lurking in the bushes outside your home or office. I'm content to eStalk™ you via RSS.)

I hereby propose the formation of a Betsy Aoki Fan Club; to join, post a comment. Live it vivid! :-)

Hey Phil. I actually met her at a Portland nerd dinner. She's a hotty! Can I join the fan club?

Michael: The most stupid idea you've EVER heard? I think you need to get out more. ;-)

Incidentally, I don't see a link to YOUR weblog. Please tell us where we may sample your writing, so we can compare it to Betsy's.

I thought the Fan Club might be interested in this if they hadn't already seen it: http://www.washington.edu/cartah/galleries/literature/literary/betsy1.html

Pretty cool.
